Government and Public Deputy Speaker Gwendolyn Garcia (3rd District, Accountability Cebu) added that Section 54 of RA 9593 also provides that TIEZA and the Department of Tourism (DOT) shall maintain and preserve assets which may already be considered cultural treasures and heritage sites and shall not be sold or in any way disposed of. She stressed that Paskuhan Village may already be considered as a cultural treasure and heritage site, adding that it has become a symbol of pride for the Province of Pampanga. TIEZA General Manager Pocholo Joselito Paragas maintained that the sale of the Paskuhan Village was in accordance with existing laws and regulations. Nevertheless, he informed the Committee that TIEZA recently sought the opinion of the Department of Justice (DOJ) on the matter. However, Deputy Speaker Garcia contended that TIEZA’s move to seek the DOJ’s opinion on the sale of Paskuhan Village signifies that it still holds on to its position that the sale was legal, despite the points raised indicating that it ignored the intent of the law. She urged TIEZA to withdraw its request with the DOJ and make a correct appreciation of the entire provisions of the law. Paragas later said that his office will withdraw its position paper submitted to DOJ as an attachment to its request for opinion, and review the same taking into consideration the points raised by the Members. Rep. Aurelio “Dong” Gonzales Jr. (3rd District, Pampanga), author of HR 654, called on the DOJ and the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) to protect the interest of the State and act on the questionable sale of the Paskuhan Village. For his part, SAGIP Party-List Rep. Rodante Marcoleta asserted that TIEZA did not comply with the Commission on Audit (COA) Circular No. 89- 296 on the audit guidelines for the disposition of government assets, particularly on the requirement of public bidding. Rep. Marcoleta said there was only one bidder in the first bidding conducted for the sale of the Paskuhan Village which is contrary to the very essence of public bidding. COA Chair Michael Aguinaldo said that COA will issue an audit report on the operation of TIEZA on June 30. The report will include findings and recommendations on the sale of the Paskuhan Village, he added. OSG State Solicitor Ruben Ayson Jr. said that the COA report and the DOJ opinion on the sale of the Paskuhan Village will be relevant in pursuing the nullification of the sale. The Committee agreed to issue a subpoena ad 3 Continuation… testificandum to compel the attendance of Mark Good Lapid, former TIEZA chief operating officer, in the Government and next meeting.

  • The Dynamics of Decentralization of Higher Education Delivery and Local Politics in the Philippines: the Case of Two Mandaue City Colleges in Cebu Province
    IAFOR Journal of Education Volume 5 – Issue 2 – Summer 2017 The Dynamics of Decentralization of Higher Education Delivery and Local Politics in the Philippines: The Case of Two Mandaue City Colleges in Cebu Province Ronald A. Pernia University of the Philippines Cebu, Philippines 87 IAFOR Journal of Education Volume 5 – Issue 2 – Summer 2017 Abstract This study explores how the decentralization law of 1991 in the Philippines has provided the conditions for the interface of higher education and politics by virtue of Local Government Units (LGUs) establishment of Local Colleges and Universities (LCUs). Anchored on educational politics framework, it specifically looks at the experience of Mandaue City which presently has two similarly named local colleges, one is Commission on Higher Education accredited and LGU supported, while the other has been deemed to have “no legal personality” but has persisted to operate nonetheless. This would create a conflict of legitimacy and later on manifest issues and challenges naturally beyond the immediate domain of education, but one that must be harnessed constructively given the realities of Philippine politics i.e. power struggle and political dynamics. The democratic opening engendered by the decentralization law to allow LGUs to establish post-secondary schools are beset with growing political tensions and contestations. Yet, there were also narratives and evidence of positive impact brought about by the decentralization of higher education. Using key informant interviews, focus group discussion and document reviews, this study contends that public educational ventures such as LCUs serve as a microcosm of the larger problem in Philippine higher education: improved access to higher education, but quality is deteriorating.

  • TIEZA-Position-Paper
    POSITION PAPER ON HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 654 The Context of Privatization As far back as the administration of President Ferdinand E. Marcos, the need to divest government of properties which adversely affect their financial viability and liquidity was already acknowledged. On 04 February 1986, Presidential Decree No. 2030 was issued creating the Asset Disposition Trust, responsibility of which is “to administer the orderly disposition of assets transferred to and held by it pursuant to this Decree on terms and conditions deemed by it to be in the best interest of the National Government. After the EDSA Revolution, on 08 December 1986, Proclamation No. 50 was issued as part of the structural reforms being instituted in the public sector to reduce the size of the corporate government sector by limiting government corporations to areas where private sector involvement is not feasible, or where intervention can favor disadvantaged sectors of society. Under President Fidel V. Ramos’ administration, Executive Order (EO) No. 37 series of 1992 was issued restating the privatization policy of the Government by encouraging government agencies and corporations to identify assets which may be disposed of to the private sector and activities which may be more efficiently, effectively and economically undertaken by the private sector, and that disposition of such assets/ activities may be undertaken through sale of physical assets, leasing of assets, management and maintenance contracts or build-operate-transfer (BOT) schemes. President Joseph E. Estrada issued Executive Order No. 12 on 14 August 1998, and approved the Rules and Regulations implementing this EO on 13 January 1999, reaffirming the country’s Privatization Program.
